8/10 Very good

Viewing Trip

Overall very comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food quality very average and can be better
Sudhir, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall an excellent stay at the Dona Sylvia resort, nestled in lush gardens with good facilities. Location is excellent with direct access to the beach, and a wide variety of restaurants and beach shacks in the vicinity. The staff delivers attentive service and they were very helpful with additional activities such as arranging a cooking class! The pool and the gardens are very well maintained. The breakfast buffet was good, but there were limited choices for western palates, so having an omlette every morning for a week can get a bit boring. The air conditioning in the room was quite noisy - could do with some maintenance. We also had a problem with the TV which kept switching off, and the WiFi which was excellent in the garden and all other areas but was hardly working inside the room. We escalated these issues to the reception and the staff tried to resolve the issues but unfortunately to no avail. The room was cleaned daily and the towels were changed as well - despite having them hung up as requested if we did not want them to be changed. We would recommend the Dona Sylvia for a relaxing stay in Goa.

Wonderful stay. Staff very helpful. Did not like the Loud music all day long & esp at dinner. Would like low classical music.
Sorab, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent with direct beach access

We chose carefully before ending up with this resort. It's perfect. Not too big, not too small. Direct access to beach - not private beach, but almost. Not crowded and dirty like many places in north Goa (even Benaulim actually). Direct access to small market and shops outside the resort area as well. Couldn't have been better.

Property is good for a group vacation with clean private beach with less crowd and games room. The entire property is clean and mostly free of mosquitoes.

8/10 Very good

Stay was great. Breakfast at the seagull restaurant was busy and there were flies sitting on fresh cut fruits.
Kennedy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really good beach side resort. Cute little huts with two rooms each or a bungalow type hut with just one room in the ground floor. Great breakfast buffet and private access to the beach made it very convenient. The beach itself was amazing, very quiet. Many options to eat outside of the resort and it’s situated right across from a super market which was also very convenient.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is nice, but needs some renovation in the rooms. Breakfast was excellent! The front desk costume service could be improved. I had a wonderful massage at the spa!
